MAC Mineralise Skin Finish Soft and Gentle Review

I have been looking for this beauty for a long time, it's hard to come by and I now know why! It is the perfect highlighter that would make any bride radiate on her special day, take average to fabulous in a matter of seconds with a few strokes to the highest point of your cheeks, cupid's bow and the bridge of your nose. It is amazing! It is my most prized highlighter in my kit. It only comes out when I want to look Shaaamaazing!

After reading the reviews on here I finally decided i had to have this in my life.. And I'm so glad I did! This is a beautiful product, it gives such a gentle glow and leaves your skin with a golden yet subtle shine. I wore this to work for the first time and I had so many compliments on my skin!! I am the queen of dark circles under my eyes - thanks to my daughter- and this just brightens up my whole look and makes me look more awake.

After hearing all the hype I finally bought soft and gentle and I'm so glad I did! I prefer it to my The Balm, Mary-Lou Manizer because it is more of a (very subtle) golden finish rather than glittery and a lot more build able. I use it as a highlight, eyeshadow and brow bone highlight. It has such a beautiful shimmery finish and not much product is needed to create a fresh look.

I was so skeptical about buying this because of the crazy price tag. But it's honestly so worth it, you only need a little bit and it looks amazing. It's a beautiful, slightly bronze highlight, I was worried that it would be too crazy on my pale skin but it looks great and I'm looking forward to summer so I can pile more of it on. I also use this as a highlight in my inner corners of my eyes and on my cupids bow. I have yet to find the perfect brush to use this with, until then I just use my fingers. I'm not that much of a fan of the new packaging because it's so much harder to open since its magnetic. But I do think that it looks a lot nicer.

My all time favorite Highlighter! It gives a great glow to the skin and totally worth the hype. I apply this with a fan brush along my cheek bone, above the eye brow, cupids bow, down the nose, and on the eye lid. Use a light hand when using this product as it is pretty intense!! It isn't a super finely milled powder, as it is a little more chunky with glitter, but its not chalky at all. This product will suit a large range of skin types, and it will last you forever! The amount of product is great and you won't need much to get that glow from within look!

I truly love this product and it is one of my go to highlighters.

Firstly the packaging is nice, fairly simple but effective. The product is baked onto a pan and it really does last forever!

The powder itself is a beautiful rose gold colour and looks perfect on the cheek bones, above the lip or under eye brow. Best to apply with a small brush or I guess you could use your fingers as well (but blend well).

This is my number one, never let me down product, I cant even explain my joy with this amazing getup.

I have other highlighters - cream -powders and I do use them However i will always use this over the top to finish, It comes out really nice in photos if you wanting that shimmer , I also use this for eyeshadow over the top of a natural - or going out look, or to put in my eye pocket to bring out my eyes,

Its really pretty and shimmery I do think you can use this with any skin type as it can blend quite well

I do love the old MAC soft and gentle packaging, as the glass bit can pop off sometimes but it still looks pretty, and it will always be my go to product with out a doubt.

Ever since my skin has started to look so amazing and my acne and acne scarring have significantly reduced I dont mind attracting some attention to my face and that means a whole new world of highlighters and glowy makeup has been opened up to me.

The highlighters I already owned before this are all in chubby stick form and their creamy. I never owned a power highligher so I was extremely excited I could make this purchase and have not regretted it.

Soft and Gentle is probably the most beautiful champagne colour, that is extremely glowing, that I have seen. This highlighter is glowy but it doesnt make you look like a disco ball by being overly sparkly. Its such a romantic champagne hue.

I love to wear this on my cheek bones, just above my blusher. After applying a full face of makeup highlighting will be the last step for me and then I'll decide how intense I want the glow depending on what else is happening on my face. I apply this highlighter with my ring finger as I feel this gives me more control over the application and I can make it as intense as I want without losing product to makeup brushes.

When you swipe this highlighter on your fingers, its this beautiful powder that almost turns in cream with an incredible butter scotch smell that is iconic of MAC makeup. I dab the highligher, not rub, as this gives me the most intense glow. Once highlighting is complete, I take my blusher brush and literally just touch the highlighter so it picks up the smallest amount and then I apply it over my blush to give my entire cheek area a subtle healthy glow. I hate it when girls apply highlighter and the line above their cheeks is prominent and not blended, so I prefer to add the highlighter to my entire cheek area subtlely.

I have used this highlighter everyday since purchasing it out of excitement but also out of pur love. Its work amazing in the day time when you just add a touch to your face, and people compliment you on looking healthy and happy. Also with night time, you can go crazy and it looks amazing and you will receive non stop compliments about glowing.

MAC mineralise powder for me is the best thing I have every come across. I have stopped using a foundation and just use this solely, great coverage, stays on all day. Love it.

After searching for what feels like a lifetime for a fail proof highlighter - I need look no further! Soft and gentle adds the perfect luminosity to cheek bones and other high points without looking too over powering and feeling like a disco ball. Tried it for the first time tonight and got so many compliments on my highlighter! I found the formula to be beautifully silky when applying and you can definitely build it up to the pigment you're after without being scared to go too far. I used a fan brush and then a big fluffy real techniques brush to sweep over my cheeks and other highlighting areas. I would recommend this shade to most skin tones as a trusty highlighter. Not chalky. Not difficult to blend. Gives a beautiful flawless finish and can definitely be used all over for super intense glowy, dewy and give you that 'pregnancy glow' without the pregnancy. Can't rave enough about this pretty pearlescent shade.
